Ghost Of The Gang Lyrics - Poseidon And The Bitter Bug - Indigo Girls

Jimmy died on his couch yesterday. 

A friend of his ex-wife called me to say 

He just gave it to God, slipped from the living 

With bills piling up and a back that was givin in. 

It's been years since I've seen anyone. 

Now I'm just sitting here in the dark 

Stalling out in my car. 

Wishing I could bum a light 

From the ghost of the gang tonight. 

Kathy lost a nephew under the wheels of a train 

In a mid-day suicide, after a losing streak 

He just stood on the tracks and gave it to glory. 

I never called her to say I m sorry, my friend.

It's been years 

But I'm thinking about you and all of your tears 

And I'm sitting here in the dark 

Afraid to make a stupid call 

Wishing I could bum a light 

From the ghost of the gang tonight 

Tonight I'm gonna take that ride 

For the years we missed and the friends that died. 

Sideswiped baby on the road somehow 

With a pack of dreams that just weren't allowed. 

Maybe you're walking those halls all quiet and sad 

Or sitting in the the dark all scared and mad. 

Feel my hand reach across and don't forget 

Where we come from baby cause there's truth in it. 

Yeah, we huddled against the cold in those days 

By the light of the fire in a pep rally haze 

With a smoking lounge pass and a reason for living. 

No matter how bad it got, we wouldn't give in to it.

It's been years 

Since I've seen anyone and cried these tears. 

Now I'm just sitting here in the dark 

Stalling out in my car. 

Wishing I could bum a ride 

From the ghost of the gang tonight. 

Ghost of the gang tonight.
